Income over feed
cost with a Purina
milking ration that’s
right for your herd
Every good dairyman looks for
„ ways to increase his income over
feed cost. One sure way is to increase the
return over feed cost... by getting maxi
mum production from each cow.
Feeding for 100% production may in
crease your feed costs. But when you give
your cows a 100% chance to milk their
best, chances are you'll boost production
... and lower the cost of producing each
100 lbs. of milk at the same time.
We’d like to help you set up a feeding
program that’s right for your herd...
whether it’s a Purina complete milking
ration ... or one that makes efficient use
of your roughages and home-grown grains.
Give your herd a 100% chance to milk
their best. Call us today. Or stop in and
see us at the sign of the familiar red and
white Checkerboard,
